Stuck on cron wget sitemap

[motorcity]

When I run this as a cron using this command;

wget -q http://www.~~~~mywebsite~~~~~.com/usu5_sitemaps/index.php

or this one;

wget -q http://~~~~my~~~~~/usu5_sitemaps/index.php >/dev/null 2>&1

 

I get the session id in the sitemapIndex.xml

<sitemap>
<loc>http://~~~~mysite~~~~~/sitemapCategories.xml?osCsid=22990b4b146faeb58930da64d582eb67</loc>
<lastmod>2012-12-30</lastmod>
</sitemap>

 

 

 

If I run it manually, not as a cron like this;

http://www.~~~~mywebsite~~~~~.com/usu5_sitemaps/index.php

I get a normal looking entry in the sitemapIndex without the osCid

<sitemap>
<loc>http://~~~~mysite~~~~~/sitemapCategories.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2012-12-30</lastmod>
</sitemap>

 

Any thoughts anyone?

Fix the sitemap code to strip out the session ID (if present).

Fix the sitemap code to strip out the session ID (if present).

Thanks for the response.

The thing is when running manually it doesn't put the session id in there, so I've been thinking it's got more to do with file permissions or something along that line.

What I know is to start with I had;

/usr/bin/wget = usrid 0 root, grpid 0 root, perm755

/catalog/usu5_sitemaps (and the files in this folder) = usrid me, grpid me, perm777

/catalog/sitemapIndex.xml = usrid me, grpid me, perm777

 

so I changed the following

/catalog/usu5_sitemaps (and the files in this folder) = usrid 0 root, grpid 0 root, perm777

/catalog/sitemapIndex.xml = usrid 0 root, grpid 0 root, perm777

~~same results~~

 

So then I changed all of the above to usr & grp = 99 nobody (as I understand cpanel runs as "nobody" not "root")

but that doesn't change it either!

In all scenarios running manually the index is fine, wget adds the osCid to the file name.

You've missed the point.

 

The XML file is created by a PHP file, correct?

 

So modify the PHP file code to strip the session ID.

Just a thought...

 

cookies=/tmp/cron-cookies.$$

wget -q --keep-session-cookies --load-cookies $cookies --save-cookies $cookies -O /dev/null http://~~~~my~~~~~/usu5_sitemaps/index.php

rm $cookies

exit 0
